Start Fraction 14 superscript 7 baseline over 9 superscript 13 baseline End Fraction
9^13/14^7
Start Fraction 9 superscript 13 baseline over 14 superscript 7 baseline end fraction
1/9^13 ⋅14^−7
Start Fraction 1 over 9 superscript 13 baseline times 14 superscript negative 7 baseline End Fraction
14^7/9^13
9^13/14^7
This is the equivalent expression with only positive exponents.
Using this property, we can rewrite the expression as:
14^-7/9^-13
To simplify this further, we can apply the property of exponents to both numerator and denominator separately:
(1/14^7) / (1/9^13)
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so we can rewrite the expression as:
(1/14^7) * (9^13/1)
Finally, multiplying fractions is done by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together, so the equivalent expression is:
(1 * 9^13) / (14^7)
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 9 superscript 13 over 14 superscript 7 End Fraction
To find an equivalent expression to 14^-79^-13 with only positive exponents, we can apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, which states that for any non-zero number a, a^-n is equal to 1/a^n.
Using this property, we can rewrite the expression as 1/(14^7 * 9^13), because 14^-7 is equivalent to 1/14^7 and 9^-13 is equivalent to 1/9^13.
Simplifying further by multiplying the exponents, the expression becomes 1/(14^7 * 9^13).
However, this is not one of the answer choices provided. Therefore, from the given options, there is no equivalent expression with only positive exponents to 14^-79^-13.
